The construction of the dine lobby. But an excellent $25 per person voucher to the next hotel was an excellent idea. Well done on customer satisfaction.

The room was clean, staff were friendly. I really appreciated the voucher for breakfast at Grand Pacific when their dining area was closed for renovations. Pillows were a bit too spongy for me. I do wish they gave a bottle of water in the room as a welcome.

Staff were very friendly. The rooms were clean and the staff were always seen cleaning. Hot breakfast in the morning was a plus. I would stay again without hesitation. A real spectacular central location to walk downtown, walk the perimeter of James Bay, or to explore Beacon Hill, the Museum or the Parliament Buildings.

There was a power outage the day we were leaving. No phone to lobby. Both of us 80 years old. No elevator, had to carry luggage 3 stories down. No one offered to help us. No breakfast. I think in these circumstances they should have a least waived our parking fee.

We lost power the first night. Breakfast didn’t happen and no coffee or tea. I get it was an outage but hotel staff were irritated and not very friendly. When asking for a cab or extra blanket desk staff seemed inconvenienced. Just didn’t seem to want to make guests feel welcome or accommodated with unfortunate circumstances

This is our second stay at the hotel. It is still as clean as the first time we stayed in 2019. The hot breakfast was great! Staff are courteous and friendly. They are in the middle of some renovations but only do it when guests are awake. Wished the parking was free though! It is a daily fee of $20.

We were informed that renovations were underway so we could expect noise between 9am and 4pm.. Unfortunately workers arrive and get their days work started earlier, generally before 8am, so dont expect to sleep in!! Then we had the pleasure of listening to someones dog start barking when their inconsiderate owners left it in the room!!
